Hey everyone 👋 I make Heroic Build, a form-fillable PDF character sheet and step-by-step character builder for the Pathfinder 2e Remaster, and I just released the biggest update so far. The last few weeks went into a rebuilt backend, a full redesign pass, and a lot of small fixes that came from watching my own players fumble around the sheet at the table.

The idea behind the whole thing is simple: teach new players the system while they build, then give them one printable page that answers their questions before they ask the GM. No apps and no internet needed at the table.

Highlights from this update:

• Auto-calculation: AC, attack values, MAP (it even reads Agile, Finesse, and Kickback from your traits), Bulk with Encumbered and Max values, and Speed including armor penalties.
• No missed crit effects: Pick your weapon or armor group and the critical specialization text fills itself in. I added this because I noticed players almost never realize they have these.
• Instant shields: Raise your shield and your AC updates on the spot.
• Letter markers: Every important box has a letter, so the GM can say "box F" and everyone finds it instantly. There's a GM reference page to match.
• Learn as you build: The builder shows the math behind every number so players see where their stats come from. On the play sheet it all stays hidden.
• Smarter layout: Perception moved to the top right in its own color (that's the box everyone hunts for mid-combat), weapons got a full redesign, and Armor and Defenses now sit together in one reading flow.
• JSON import: Keep building your character online and still have the sheet ready at the table.
• Extras: Full-page inventory, Treat Wounds table, an Actions & Feats overview page, level maps for your boosts at 1/5/10/15/20, and a printer-friendly pass across the whole document.

It's Pay What You Want, so completely free to grab and try. If it earns a spot at your table, a small donation or review genuinely helps me cover the tools I use to make this stuff. To be clear, this is an independent, compatible product and not affiliated with Paizo.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially from GMs onboarding new players. What's the one thing your players always get stuck on with their character sheets? That feedback is basically my roadmap.

Cheers, Rhys

If you've played D&D 5e and you're picking up Pathfinder 2e or Starfinder 2e for the first time, the rulebook can feel like a lot. Most of it you'll figure out at the table, but there are some things that genuinely trip people up early - the four degrees of success, the three-action economy, why spamming attacks is usually the wrong call, how dying and wounded interact, and a dozen other things the book explains somewhere across 400 pages.

I put together a six-page quick reference guide that skips everything you already know and focuses on what's actually different. No dice explanation, no "what is a GM" section - it assumes you've been there before.

It covers:

• Four degrees of success and how criticals work
• Three-action economy and Multiple Attack Penalty
• Proficiency levels and how they replace Advantage
• Conditions, cover, line of sight, and hidden/undetected
• Exploration, downtime, and hero points
• Dying, wounded, and recovery
• Healing, spellcasting, and area of effect shapes
• Ranged weapons - magazine, expend, and reload

There are visual diagrams at the points where a picture genuinely does a better job than words. It's short enough to read before a session and specific enough to actually help.

It's pay what you want, so you can grab it for free. If it saves you a rules lookup mid-session or helps your table move faster, a small contribution goes a long way toward keeping these tools coming.

Hey everyone,

Another update for the Stellar Build which is a form-fillable PDF character sheet for Starfinder 2e. Now, onto what changed.

Big additions

Hephaistos and Pathbuilder JSON import. Build your character online, export the Pathmuncher JSON, and pull it straight into Stellar Build. If you've been juggling an online build and a printed sheet, that gap is starting to close.

Weapons redesigned. They now read in a logical order top to bottom, work as ranged or melee in whichever configuration suits your character, and the layout gives damage, traits, and weapon group the space they need. Low-contrast text got fixed too, so it's properly printer-friendly.

Perception moved. It's top right, it's pink, and it's the only thing in pink. That's deliberate. It's the stat you reach for most, and it kept getting buried. Not anymore.

Leveling to 20 is easier to track. There's a new visual map showing your four attribute boosts at levels 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20. The level-up box has been rebuilt from the ground up to walk you through each step in order, and the builder now ends at one summary location instead of two.

Actions and feats got an extra page. High-level play was running out of room. Fixed.

Other changes worth knowing about:

• Armor now sits alongside defenses so the full picture reads in one place, with a dedicated spot for upgrades
• The title block now shows Ancestry, Class, and Background
• Background in the builder has a new choices field so you don't forget what you picked
• Page reference markers added to the bottom right corner for easier navigation
• Several bug fixes, including proficiency bonuses miscalculated at Expert and Master level, incorrect skill modifiers, and a handful of small class entry errors

Stellar Build is pay what you want. It's free if that's what you need. If you've been getting use out of it and want to help keep updates like this one coming, anything you can spare makes a real difference.
